Inspired by Intelligentsiya I am joining in Fiji's fight to retain our freedoms of choice in life - before we know it our freedoms will be taken away and what we take for being normal is really not. We must guard against this at all times and fight to retain what can never be suppressed! A government that knowingly and deliberately violates people’s rights loses the moral authority to demand obedience.

Whatsits galore

Ragone, after spending much time with the makabuna lately, I am back. So many insane things have happened in our beloved Fiji Islands in the last couple of months - lots of whatsits ..... and amongst others, decrees to legalise and unlegalise all sorts of whatsists; "disloyal" whatsists being fired and retired, johhny-come-lately whatsists being hired. A big headed whatsit tripping around the country promising whatsists, and an FNPF whatsit who says our money's safe. Harh acha right.The insanity deserves a summation - perhaps in the form of a little witticism sent in by one of my correspondents.

Most of these whatsists involve the nation's money which the military regime think nothing of spending on themselves whilst feigning concern for the great unwashed. What is concerning is na butako kei na lawaki butobuto - what is happening behind the scenes. The following cartoon illustrates this perfectly, but more to come soon .....

How many members of Fiji Military Regime are needed to change a whatsit.

The Answer is TEN:

1. one to deny that the whatsit needs to be changed

2. one to attack the gall of anyone who says the whatsit needs to be changed or questions the necessity.

3. one to blame Qarase for burning out the whatsit

4. one to demonstrate via a parade of decrees to the UN, IMF et al that they are busy changing the whatsit in dark duress via "reform"

5. one to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Tapoos for the new whatsit

6. one to arrange a photograph of Injustice Paul Madigan, dressed in robes & wig standing on a step ladder under the banner -- "Whatsit Change Accomplished"

7. one regime insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bainimarama was literally in the dark

8. one to viciously smear #7

9. one surrogate called MyArsi to campaign on TV and on radio on how Bainimarama has had a strong whatsit changing policy all along

10. and finally one to confuse Fijians about the difference between screwing a whatsit and screwing the country.

Reminder for the day : Remember this ?

NIMILOTE VEREBASAGA'S NECK WAS BROKEN SAYS WIFE :

The wife of forty-four year old Nimilote Verebasaga says it's been since January 2007 since her husband died and she's still WAITING FOR ANSWERS.

Asinate Verebasaga says her husband was picked up by a truck load of soldiers in full military gear on January the sixth and that the next time she saw him was at a Suva mortuary. She says he had broken ribs and his neck was obviously broken. Where are the answers ? What happened to Nimilote's human rights ? What happened to transparency ? Why is the army covering up ?THE NATION AWAITS ANSWERS AND THE WORLD CONTINUES TO WATCH
